Their pockets are lined with insurance industry dollars. What we need is even more: a plan like Canada, France, Great Britain, and Australia have. No insurance companies at all, just universal, taxpayer-based healthcare. It would be amazing how quickly the costs of healthcare, prescription medications, surgeries, and other health-related expenses would drop to some reasonable rate for everyone, if there were no longer insurance companies deciding who does and does not deserve medical care based on how profitable another human being's life might be to that insurance company. I have friends in all of those countries mentioned, all of them middle-class working people. They think our system is insane. They are very happy with what they have.
